They've made lots of strut tower braces for MK2 and MK3 supras, and I have heard only minor complaints about fitment issues (I'd expect that from a non-adjustable bar tieing 3-points of the car together -- especially on 20 year old cars that have been stressed differently over time)

Lots of people have complaints about them fitting on FCs. People have had to modify them. Dont go with CP racing either it'll take months to get your stuff and they won't return your phone calls and/or emails. Check out the goodguy/badguy section I'm sure there's at least a few threads about them.

Guys in Canada don't have problems with receiving I don't think. But yes, people seem to have problems with getting their stuff in a timely manner in the states. lol I wouldn't recommend you go with them, but their strut tower braces seem fine. Just don't get that 3 point one.

I ordered a rear 4 point strut bar and their 4 point roll bar, the strut bar I ordered off of ebay and was sent quickly. It bolted in with zero problems.

Now the roll bar that I ordered from their website was alittle pain in the neck, It took about a month or so of trying to get ahold of them but after posting one thread about how to get ahold of them (https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=399411) I was contacted by I guess one of the managers who surfs this forum. After I had him on the case the roll bar was at my door in a matter of days and looked fantastic.

i have their front 4 pt strut brace. it makes a difference in handling(you can feel it) but the fan has to be trimmed to clear the front bar of the brace.

Why would you want to pay a company and then have to chase them down and convince them to give you what you bought?
